Egor Sorin, the coach of the Russian national cross-country team, told that his group’s training camp in preparation for the Champions Heights in Malinovka went as usual, with the athletes having completed all planned work.
The Sorina group includes Gleb Retivyh, Denis Filimonov, Sergey Ardashev, Veronika Stepanova, Tatiana Sorina, Elizaveta Pantrina, Anastasia Prokofieva, Ekaterina Smirnova, Anastasia Faleeva and Elizaveta Shalaboda. Earlier, fellow national team coach Yuri Borodavko told that his squad were not disease-free ahead of Champions Heights, including three-time Olympic champion Alexander Bolshunov.
– The meetings were held in regular mode. Almost all the planned works have been carried out. There were small exceptions for some athletes, but everything went according to plan.
All leaders are on high alert. Anastasia Faleeva has now taken part in the Russian Youth Championship, as has Elizaveta Pantrina. It was also in preparation for competitions in Malinovka.
– Yuri Borodavko said that skiers in his group again faced illnesses during preparation. How’s it going ?
We also fell ill in the group. When the group is large, no one is immune to this. We also had illnesses. Somewhere, maybe, it’s related to acclimatization, somewhere a virus has spread. However, we lived in a hotel where there were many tourists. We eat in the common areas. Therefore, there is a high probability of catching some kind of virus and getting sick when you get in shape, you are in good condition. Such cases occur in almost all groups.
– For several days, someone abandoned the training process?
“There weren’t such strong falls,” Sorin told .
